Luka - as you know from my original post I like the photo-journalistic aspect of it... the helter-skelterness (ugh, someone is going to get on me for that coinage) is intriguing - what I see in it from a documentary perspective (yeah yeah, here we go with puns) is the recording of what looks like an accident scene in the lower left corner ... and the vehicles akimbo elsewhere. anyway, I like it more each time I look at it... ann Luka Knezevic-Strika wrote: ah, i've been honored with a PDML-esque discussion. this, if nothing, makes the posting of the photo in question, worthwhile :) i do agree that the fact a photograph is based on reality in a certain objective way is important. but, than again, i don't think it rules out abstract photography. it's just, a work of art doesn't need a history or a 'builders' manual' for one to be able to appreciate it, and if some potential abstract photo does whatever one wants in an abstract art form, than it is abstract. the fact you can trace it to film and therefore 'original scene' is meaningless. similarly, finding roots of pollock's paintings is also meaningless in respect to them being abstract or not.
